he endorsed barack obama. and he has positioned on foreign policy that many of them don't like either. but much of this for spite and let's face it some of it is the kind of reflexive move to try po punish barack obama where they can. and i'm afraid what concerns me most is that this set of unreasonable demands, and hagel's quite reasonable response to them is an excuse to do a full-fledged filibuster. and if you turn it into a partisan filibuster of a cabinet nominee at this level, then you move to another kind of unprecedented action and a dangerous one. and what we're seeing now is a sort of faux filibuster, as jonathan bernstein pointed out in the "washington post" today. >> if they do decide to stick with this delay that they have insisted on thus far, if they continue to pursue it, or if they do in fact filibuster, do you think that the democrats would reasonably take that as a reason to finally reform the filibuster? i realize it would be an extreme step for them to do that. but wouldn't it be sort of a

after today's vote, president obama might also agree. >> obama: the filibuster historically has been used selectively for a handful of issues to extend debate. we don't have a 60 vote rule. that's become common practice. >> john: it ain't over until it's over. the senate will likely vote again on the nomination when it returns for a much-needed 10-day recess. if you're wondering why the unprecedented event took place some say they're blocking haigle to squeeze the white house for more information on the benghazi attack, something hagel has nothing to do with. others are backing ted cruz's calls for additional information on hagel's speeches and business deals. but senator john mccain may have gotten it right when he explained the vote to fox news. >> there's a lot of ill will toward senator hagel because when he was a republican, he attacked president bush mercilessly at one point said he was the west president since herbert hoover. said that the surge was the worst blunder since the vietnam war which is nonsense. and was very anti- his own party and people. people don't forget that.
